Frederick John Durston (11 July 1893 – 8 April 1965) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Middlesex and England.

[4] A tall fast bowler with the ability to make the ball "break back" after pitching,[5] Durston came to the fore in Middlesex's County Championship-winning seasons of 1920 and 1921,[2] having played only a handful of matches before then.

His batting improved with age and in 1927 he shared an unbroken ninth-wicket partnership of 160 – scored in only 80 minutes – with Patsy Hendren against Essex at Leyton that remained as a Middlesex record until 2011.

[11] Durston also played football as a goalkeeper for Royal Engineers, Queens Park Rangers, Brentford,[12] Northfleet United and Bedford Town.

[7][13] The Hackney Gazette Newspaper reported that the Brentford registered goalkeeper Corporal Jack Durston made 2 appearances for Clapton Orient during the December holiday period of 1917 both against Chelsea.
